Parents

The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) of Wuhan Yangtze International School is a voluntary service organization managed by the parents and teachers of WYIS. Not only does participation in PTO give parents the opportunity to partner with WYIS to plan fun school-wide activities, it’s also a great way to meet other parents and quickly become involved at WYIS.

The PTO is led by an elected Committee that includes: the PTO president and vice presidents that oversee various aspects and activities sponsored by the group. PTO general meetings are held once a month and are open to all parents and teachers. Members of the WYIS PTO can support activities without becoming officers or attending meetings on a full-time basis. You can also serve as a room parent, and help your child’s teacher as needed. We hope to see you there!

JOIN THE PTO

Our Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) welcomes all parents of WYIS students and is a very important resource for both the school and the parents themselves. To help cater to the wide diversity here at WYIS, our PTO is organized into several language groups, each with their own organizer. The language group organizer not only serves as the contact person to disseminate school-related information, but they also assist in communication between parents and the school.

Throughout the year, the PTO also helps coordinate various activities. One of our longest-standing school traditions, which PTO plays a large role in coordinating, is International Day. This is a highlight of our year. Here at WYIS, PTO also hosts a luncheon for Teacher Appreciation Day and provides treats for students on Children’s Day.
